Also Port Wines. It’s what we got into before started falling into the Whiskey rabbit hole

Whisk(e)y drinker here, preferring neat. I like all types, especially if they are sherry-finished.

I like too many for a concise list.

I think Stranahan’s is the best bottle most people sleep on. It’s a Single Malt made in the US, so most Scotch drinkers dismiss it because “it’s not made in Scotland”, but most American drinkers are looking more for Rye and Bourbon flavors. It’s just delicious imo

Ardbeg Wee Beastie is another favorite. Peated Scotches aren’t for everyone, but I think it has a great “campfire” quality

Navazos Palazzi is a Spanish whiskey that we really like, and it’s one i never recommend to beginners. It’s harsh and sweet, but somehow it works. I’ve heard it described as “maple cookie covered in fresh pavement”, although I think it evokes more of that cut up tire that you can find on some playgrounds. It’s basically “fuck you” in a glass, in the best possible way

For cocktails, i always go for Coke and Makers, with some grenadine.

I might have an artist now (recommendation from someone in my derby league). If I go through with it, I’ll make sure to follow up with pictures :-p

My great, great uncle was Gene Krupa, a popular/influential swing drummer in the 1920s through 1940s. By contrast, i have absolutely zero musical talent.

My third cousin, once removed (that is, my father’s third cousin) is Mike Shanahan, the former head coach for the Denver Broncos

Not a family relation, but someone famous I know… I taught a Roller Derby clinic alongside Erin Jackson, who won the Gold Metal at the most recent Olympics in speed skating

Honestly, I put little stock into these relationships. They’re little more than personal trivia at this point

You’re awesome, thank you.

I saw the “instances” link at the bottom, but I assumed it was just a variation on the join-lemmy.org site (which I see is another one of the links down there). Please forgive me, still learning the platform :-)

Thanks for the update and for the link to the reasoning – I had completely missed it.

Based on the initial post (only mentioning defederation without linking to the Details), it sounded like the three servers had a falling-out of some sort, but this sounds reasonable. I can appreciate the difficulty of trying to maintain a welcoming environment.

From a user perspective, I think I’m mostly frustrated with the lack of visibility with these changes, specifically trying to keep track of what I do and don’t have access to. I don’t think that’s the responsibility of beehaw to implement, but I might continue to look for solutions

I must have missed a memo. Why did beehaw defederate with lemmy.world/sh.itjust.works?

I really want to like Lemmy, but if we can randomly lose access to content like that, it leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

I’m generally a vanilla person, so i haven’t done anything yet.

I do Roller Derby (play and officiate), so at this point, I know more people with tattoos than without. I’ve wanted something for a while now, but generally haven’t because of the fear of commitment.

I’ve found an idea I really like, have started talking to people for recommendations for an artist.

In derby, bruises are extremely common because it’s a full contact sport. You can be kicked or grabbed or hit the floor, or fall on someone’s wheels, and these bruises can be beautiful, changing all sorts of colors and shades and patterns. There’s a gallary of example “Derby Kisses” where a photographer recorded some stunning examples: https://riikkahyvonen.com/roller-derby-kisses

I want to get a tattoo of a wheel bruise with it blending into a galaxy, since space has been another long-term obsession, would get it outside my right thigh where I’ve had bruises just like the ones above. I just really like this concept, and I’m hoping I can find someone to realize it for me
